What is the Rabbit R1?

At first glance, the Rabbit R1 might seem like a hybrid between a gaming console and a compact smartphone. But it's neither – and yet, it might just be the precursor to your smartphone's successor. Priced at $199, the R1 stands out with its 2.88-inch touchscreen, rotating camera, and a unique scroll wheel/button for navigation. Its hardware, including a 2.3GHz MediaTek processor, 4GB of memory, and 128GB of storage, is encased in a design created in collaboration with Teenage Engineering.
